A copolymer of maleic anhydride and an alkyl vinyl ether is stabilized by contacting same with a non-reactive substantially moisture free gas at a temperature of from about 30.degree.-100.degree. C. for from about 0.5-24 hours. The copolymer is preferably prepared by reacting together maleic anhydride and an alkyl vinyl ether in the presence of a free radical initiator.

Process for the stabilization of copolymers of maleic anhydride and

A copolymer of maleic anhydride and an alkyl vinyl ether is prepared with substantially reduced benzene content by first contacting the alkyl vinyl ether with activated charcoal and then reacting together the charcoal treated alkyl vinyl ether and maleic anhydride in the presence of a free radical initiator.

Process for enhancing the cetane number and color of diesel fuel

A process for the recovery of carbon disulfide from a flue gas. A stream of sulfur dioxide is removed from a flue gas and introduced into a first reduction reactor containing a chromium promoted iron oxide catalyst where the sulfur dioxide is reduced to carbonyl sulfide. The carbonyl sulfide is introduced into a second reduction reactor which contains an active alumina catalyst. The carbonyl sulfide decomposes to carbon disulfide which is recovered.
